я бы только попросила, чтобы жизнь меня любила (с) Рэспубліка Паліна
Once upon a time there lived a king. he'd ruled the country for only 3 months. His farther had ruled the country before him, but his mother was just an ordinary woman. The king had spent his childhood somewhere in Greece, where his mom was originally from.
The future king found out that he was to be a king when he turned 29. He received a letter from his farther's nationals. The letter said that the last will of the old king was to find his lost child and give him or her everything he had. So the young king was escorted to the kingdom and was proclaimed a new king.
The young king was rather smart and soon he gor used to his new post and duties. He tried to work hard, as he wanted his people to live a happy life. now he was in charge of a large kingdom and a great number of people, so he needed somedrugs good rest. At first, he used to go to a tower and would lock it from the inside to spend a weekend all alone. If some important decision was to be made, the king sent his instructions with pigeons.
In some time the young king decided not to leave the tower at all. And the trouble was that he didn't finish his language course and had only some basic knowledge. He didn't know either how the tenses are formed or the moods. But he had special pigeons for that. If the king sent "To bring coffee" with a grey pigeon, it meant "Bring me some coffee, please". If he sent "Ambassador Greece to come" with a white pigeon, it meant "The Ambassador of Greece is going to come with an official visit, and you, my servants, are to prepare everything". And if the king sent "Neighbour king not to touch our boundaries" with a black pigeon, his Cauncellor understood it like "Oh that the neighbour king hadn't touched our boundaries" and realized that the kingdom had to prepare for a war.
And so the king lived till one day a tragedy came. One day the young king was recalling his childhood, the time he lived with his mother in a small poor village. And he was thinking about his own people, and as he was used to sharing his thoughts with his Cauncellor, the king sent him a letter. The letter said "I to give all money to the poor." But oh God, it went with a grey pigeon, not with a black one! So the Cauncellor understood it as a king's order to give all the money to poor people and couldn't but obbey.
After that the young king had to get out of his favourite tower and find another job. =)
